<\/a><\/p>\nParty planning – We brainstormed on ideas for a good party favors and came up with giving each girl a plastic basket that they could bring in the car with them. \u00a0Inside we provided the following: \u00a0two little bags of chips for snack, \u00a0lip gloss, \u00a0a ring pop, a Crayola mini coloring pack that included some color sheets and markers, erasers that look like cassette tapes, 2 mini tubs of Play Doh, a Bath and Body Works hand sanitizer inside a glow in the dark holder (perfect for cleaning hands after playing games) and a glow stick necklace that Hannah beaded for each girl with black and glow in the dark beads. \u00a0To have the favors match our Disney theme, Hannah helped me cut out Mickey heads using my Cricut. \u00a0She then cut out each girl’s name using the Cricut and I glued them on using a Zig 2 way glue pen. This is how they turned out. <\/p>\n The big day arrive this past Saturday and after a lot of worrying if the girls would have a good time, would anyone get home sick, would everyone behave, etc. \u00a0I have to say that I feel like the most blessed mom in the world! \u00a0Remember: these were new friends she invited so I didn’t know these girls very well. \u00a0All three of them had different personalities and none of them really knew each other and they all got along beautifully! Plus we ended up taking my older daughter Katie (13) with us (even though she said she didn’t want to go) and she ended up being the leader of pack with the girls in way that really worked well. \u00a0 So what did we do on our adventure? \u00a0Here’s a few pictures to show you –<\/p>\n We left the house around 9:30 am and headed to Orlando. \u00a0After picking up our tickets at a discount ticket broker we spotted a CiCi’s pizza which seemed like the perfect place to grab lunch before we started our gaming adventure. \u00a0What’s better than pizza, pasta (salad for mom) and some brownies???? \u00a0Here’s the girls spelling out CiCi’s by the sign (the birthday girl is the blonde one in the teal shirt). Next we headed to Downtown Disney to start our gaming adventure. \u00a0Before we went in a took a picture of each girl with Hannah and then a few group shots. \u00a0The individual shots were for a final thank you gift I planned to make the next morning before the girls went home.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once inside we had fun exploring each of the 5 floors. Here’s a few things we learned about Disney Quest: We left Disney Quest at about 10:45 and drove back to Tampa. \u00a0About 30 minutes in to the ride all the girls were fast asleep in the backseat. \u00a0Of course, this was just a nap because when we got home they were all wide awake again. \u00a0My husband and I left the girls downstairs with a movie, some popcorn and the TV remote and we finally fell in to bed for ourselves. \u00a0It was such a fun day and I have to say that I”m soooo proud of my daughter. \u00a0She has picked the nicest girls to be her friends. \u00a0Which made the day even more sweet!<\/p>\n As I cooked breakfast Sunday morning, I also made these cute keychains for the girls to put on their backpacks. \u00a0I thought it was a great way for them all to remember such a fun day! \u00a0I got the key chains at the Dollar Spot at Target early in August. \u00a0They were the cherry on top of a fantastic birthday!!!<\/p>\n
